Setting Edit Mode to Pro (Control Mode 1.0) gives you access to the full
parameter matrix of the algorithm for any loaded effect whenever you press the
front panel Edit button.

To select any parameter for adjustment, use SELECT to move horizontally
across the matrix and the Up and Down buttons to move vertically. An asterisk
(

) appearing before a displayed parameter indicates that more than one

parameter is available at that location. Press Load/

to display these additional

parameters.

Each of the ten PCM 80 algorithms has a unique matrix, but many parameters
are common to all effects, and their placement within the matrix is consistent.
For example, all parameters within a given row of any matrix are related. This
type of grouping is immediately apparent from the name of the row. For example
the "Levels" row in any matrix will contain all of the available level controls for the
effect's delay voices.

As far as possible, rows with similar controls will always appear in the same
position in the matrix and, within each row, parameters will generally appear in
the same position. For example, the first row (0) in every algorithm is "Controls".
The Mix parameter, which is available in all effects, is always located in position
0 in this row. Similarly, the last two rows of every matrix are "Modulation" and
Patches". This makes it very easy to find your way around the large number of
available parameters, and to anticipate where to find the controls you are looking
for when you switch between effects.

The Full Edit Matrix

Similar parameters can be found in similar positions in
every effect matrix. Once you are familiar with one edit
matrix, you will find it easy to anticipate where to find
controls in another matrix.

Detailed information about each individual edit matrix, as well as parameter and
effect descriptions are given in Chapter 3.
